Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

NOTE

The Dynamics of Gender Responsibility and Societal Health

Current societal dynamics reveal a troubling imbalance where both men and women lack responsibility towards each other, leading to detrimental effects on mental health, particularly among women. Although women have gained significant ground in the job market and education, with evidence suggesting they out-earn childless men, this progress fails to translate into overall societal well-being. Historical precedents, such as the feminist movements in Ancient Greece and Rome, illustrate repeating cycles where the removal of mutual responsibilities results in societal decay. The absence of incentives for men to embody hyper-masculinity and the rise of toxic femininity contribute to women's isolation from their communities, leading to heightened levels of dissatisfaction and mental health issues, as evident by soaring SSRIs usage. There is a stark lack of reward for pro-social behaviors, which discourages individuals from community engagement and service, fostering a culture that mocks earnest contributions. Ultimately, this system, devoid of mutual accountability, is proving ineffective and harmful to both genders and their societal roles.
